Just received a "Trade-A-Plane" large magazine/newspaper item in my mail today, and despite being mostly a US-based operation, they seem to have the occasional overseas advertisement in there.

Noticed that this was being sold on page 58:

Jeepers Sean , look at that price , wonder if it will go off shore , hope not many here want to see it .

Oh dear would hate to see that head offshore but at that price I dont think it will be heading anywhere

Thanks for that link, Paul ... stunning aircraft. I can't believe that price ... is the decimal point in the right place?
